Now that Tesla products are so commonplace, something very unique and cool shows up. I wonder what they could come up with for a Kaiser built M715 ?

Expect very little interest in this product which runs counter to the growing indifference to anything all electric powered. A waste of time and money.

It's a custom shop. I can easily see a business case for this product and other EV projects like it. I wish I had the cab and bed of the Jeep FC-150 we parted out way back in the day. A custom EV chassis like the one Vigilante is developing would mitigate the quirky handling dynamics of the Forward Control Jeep, because the battery pack is spread out and set down low in the frame.

Today I saw the new Ionna charging center that was recently opened in my neck of the woods. The supporting charging infrastructure is growing exponentially, while a new wave of lower priced battery electrics is incoming. They're not dead yet.
